Why Cedar Falls Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Cedar Falls has a city population of 247 and sits inside a growing regional market with a metro area population of 2.3+ million and a regional growth rate of 2.80% annually. With 228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b, homeowners balance wet-season drainage concerns with long sunny stretches that affect landscaping schedules. That mix creates steady demand for reliable aggregates for grading, yard recontouring, foundation backfill, and erosion control. Even in a small city, infill projects, property improvements, and work tied to the broader metro’s growth mean homeowners and local contractors need clear material specs and dependable delivery for successful projects.Popular Projects in Cedar Falls This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Cedar Falls Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Cedar Falls.
Prices for fill dirt in West North Carolina vary by supplier and season, but expect roughly $10 to $30 per ton (or about $12 to $40 per cubic yard) as a general range. Exact rates depend on local supply, haul distance into Cedar Falls, truck size, and whether delivery or spreading services are included; check our website or get a quote for current local pricing.
Hello Gravel partners with local haulers and suppliers who service Cedar Falls; availability changes by ZIP code. Typical minimum orders start around 3 tons (our platform minimum), with delivery often free in many areas or a modest fee for short runs; long uphill or narrow mountain deliveries can add charges—get an exact supplier quote at checkout.
For driveway subgrades use a well-graded fill with some fines to aid compaction, or a 3/4-inch crushed stone base topped by stone for drainage; patio bases usually need a compactable granular fill or sand plus compacted aggregate base. For foundation backfill in mountain sites, use engineered or granular fill (low organics) compacted in lifts to avoid settlement; avoid high-organic topsoil for structural backfill.
Cedar Falls' mountain climate can increase frost heave and erosion risk if fill is not well-draining and compacted properly. Use well-graded, compacted fill with proper drainage layers and avoid fine, clay-rich fills near foundations or paved surfaces to reduce movement during freeze-thaw and heavy rainfall events.
Contractors commonly target 90% to 95% of standard Proctor density for fill under driveways and light structures in this region. Small residential jobs often use reversible plate compactors or jumping jacks for 4 to 6-inch lifts, while larger areas use vibratory rollers or sheepsfoot rollers and 6 to 8-inch lifts for deeper fills; always verify specs with your engineer or local building department.
Permit needs vary by county and the specific Cedar Falls site; small backyard leveling usually requires no special permit, but larger earthwork often triggers local building, grading, or erosion and sediment control rules. Check with your county planning or soil and water conservation district before major fills, especially near streams, steep slopes, or in regulated watersheds.
Convert your project volume to cubic yards then convert to tons: one cubic yard of fill dirt typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.5 tons depending on moisture and composition. Example: a 10 ft by 50 ft driveway area raised 4 inches equals about 6.2 cubic yards (roughly 7.5 to 9.3 tons); use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team for a quick estimate.
Common alternatives include crusher run (crushed rock with fines) for driveways and subbases, clean fill or structural engineered fill for foundations, and topsoil for final grading and landscaping. Choose crusher run or engineered subbase where drainage and load-bearing are important; use fill dirt when you mainly need inexpensive volume to raise grade but combine it with granular base under pavements.
Expect narrow mountain roads, steep driveways, and muddy spring conditions to limit truck access; some roads may have weight or seasonal restrictions in wet months. Schedule deliveries during drier weather when possible, confirm truck access and drop-off location in advance, and note that next-day delivery requires orders placed before noon CST and may carry an extra fee.
Yes, many local contractors offer combined supply-and-install services; bundled pricing varies by job size, access difficulty, and compaction requirements. For small residential fills expect labor and compaction to add material costs roughly 50% to 150% depending on scope; get on-site quotes from local contractors or ask Hello Gravel to connect you with preferred installers.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
The minimum order size is 3 tons.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end.
